    This is a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Just like Aleve or Ibuprofen.

    No this is not a steroid. It is an anti-inflammatory for arthritis. I've used it since 1990 for rheumatoid arthritis. It does not relieve all the pain but it is great for mobility. Without it, I can hardly get out of the bed.
